Free Photoshop Storyboarding brushes

Hey! I like playing around with brushes in photoshop, so I thought you might like to noodle around with these.

Here’s my brush set that I’ve perfected over years of drawing chickens, and there is no better brush set. At least for now. Some of the brushes I made, there’s a couple from the amazing sets of Chris Wahl (check him out) that I use for tone, and one from some guy in Dreamworks. Sorry, guy. I don’t know who you are, but thanks! And the lassos are there because I’m always using them to select chunks of art, or fill shapes with color. Here’s how they look:

I use tool presets for my boarding, because it’s simply so easy to have a palette always open with the tools set up exactly the way I like them, loaded with the color I need, and with the brush mode I need. They are all set up for for storyboard panel sizes, not some huge A3 piece, so if you want to work bigger, you’ll need to make em bigger.

Instructions: Download the set here: open photoshop; open the Tool Presets Palette. Click on the black arrow on the top right corner, and choose load or replace tool presets, navigate to your downloaded .tpl file and there you go.

hmm. slow workaround is just to click on the brush tool preset then just click the ‘new brush’ icon in your brush pallet. The new brush will be a duplicate of your tool preset brush. (sheesh, I’m boring myself) :)

Wow that is great for the people who want to learn photoshop, with these brushes photoshop training is also necessary for a person, the training include various features which lead to same time. Attending the training lead to benefits you in building your career.

I know this is a year late and probably a dumb comment, but just in case people are wondering with this. TPL is a tool present NOT brush preset. go to window>tool preset, and then load the .TPL file from there as loading in from the brush menu will only allow .ABR imports. Great brush set – loving them so far :D

Out of all the brush sets I’ve reused since I’ve started using PS, yours is always first and foremost. I love the feel of the black inky brush, even for final line art. Thanks for making the set!

Hi JP, Thanks for uploading these brushes. I was loving the use of them, but then I had to reset my laptop. So I’ve lost them. Unfortunately your link has now died. Is there any chance you could get it going again? My Storyboards have never looked better.
